Back by popular demand, we bring back Chris Mayer to chat about his book, How Do You Know - A Guide to Clear Thinking About Wall Street, Investing, and Life. This book is one that really made us think as it is not your conventional investing book and questions much of traditional thinking in the world of finance. If you’re interested in becoming a better thinker as an investor, then this episode is a must-listen.

Chris is the author of 100 Baggers and How Do You Know? and the co-founder and portfolio manager of Woodlock House Family Capital.
